WI Secretary Report, 2021
A short report this year!
In January last year we had and informal ‘chat with the committee’ to discuss several items for the forthcoming year. Sadly, most of these were not to happen due to the pandemic.
In February we had a meeting to discuss any changes in the committee and finances as a pre-AGM discussion. Then followed a social, interesting evening. Val Morrell showed us how to make flowers with icing and everyone brought their own cake to ice. There were some lovely results.
March was the AGM , with the seriousness of Covid hanging over us. We also had a ‘show and tell’ which proved what a clever bunch we are!!
The rest of the year, unfortunately, restrictions meant we could not meet face to face or use the village hall. Members were free to Zoom each other but as a group this was not easy. As secretary the only thing I could do was pass on invitations from other WIs and the flyers attached to newsletters that members could partake in if they wished, virtually.
So we now will possibly have an AGM via email and message and cross fingers that it won’t be too long before we can meet.
